ABOUT ME
Front-End Developer
Front-End Developer

I am a pragmatic software developer, with a passion for always learning and applying new technologies.

For the past 6 years, I've been building a full stack developer building products with Ruby / Rails and React for different companies in different industries ranging such as financial services and ed-tech. I have also worked with other technologies like Node.js, Vue.js and Python, but to a lesser extent.

I believe in lifelong learning and I'm currently focusing on learning Elixir

I helped develop large web applications for a diverse group of companies, in industries ranging from e-learning to employee wellness. During this time I've worked extensively with Node.js, React.js and Ruby on Rails.

While here I helped build and maintain an application for filtering candidates that handled tens of thousands of users monthly. I worked on adding new features to the frontend (React) and backend (Node.js / Express.js / MongoDB)
